The Noise

Have you noticed the noise lately? All around us, there is noise, and I’m not just referring to sounds. The activities, distractions, and so many things that keep us from doing what needs to be done. This morning, I sat down to have my morning time with Father. My head was filled with so many…

In the Open

My husband and I have a practice of saying grace before we eat. It doesn’t matter if we’re grabbing something quick while driving, having holiday dinner, breakfast with friends, or just eating at the kitchen table at home, we say a little prayer. It’s just ingrained in us, it’s second nature and we just give…

Me to Thee

It’s been one of those mornings. You know, you wake up before the alarm, and your mind is already filled with things on your to-do list. I got up early, moved through my normal routine, sat down to write this little blog, and boom got totally distracted. Before I knew it, I’d gone down at…

Touching the Fringe

A friend of mine oversees a website for his church that shares wonderful daily scripture in small snippets. The Bible can be overwhelming to read at times, it gets easier over time and the more you read it, the more it reads you. So, though I’m trying to read the Bible cover to cover, I…

Heavy Lifting

I’m pretty routine about going to my little gym. I’ve been a member there since not long after we moved here. Though it’s changed ownership, much of the clientele remained and our 6:00 a.m. group is pretty consistent. The type of workouts changed with the new ownership over a year ago, they really focus more…

Snapdragons

Yesterday I went to one of our local farmer’s markets. There is a particular booth there, a small farm, that is my favorite. The woman who owns it is so sweet, she just likes to “grow things”. Her veggies and herbs are always the best. I mean like you are washing the dirt and sand…

The Do Tank

I was listening to a podcast the other day and the guest used a term that caught my attention, the “do tank”. I wasn’t sure I heard him correctly, but then he shared with the host what he meant. He said that his team is doing the work, they are not just sitting around thinking…

God’s Test?

I’ve been thinking lately about the situations that occur in this life, the places that we find ourselves in. Those situations can find us asking questions, wondering why Father is testing us. What did we do to deserve the situation we’re in? Why are we facing the challenges we’re facing? It’s not uncommon to feel…

Let Love be Genuine

Well, it’s a busy day on tap here. If you’ve been following along this week you know I’ve been overseeing a large event that’s taking place tonight at our church. Each year we raise funds for community outreach, and this year I’m happy to say we’ve approved grants for 16 organizations in the community. We…

Ya, We Are Accountable

My husband and I were having a conversation last night while dinner was in the oven. We’ve been so busy these days that it seems like this is the best time for us to chat. We got onto the subject of making mistakes in our lives which grew into a bigger discussion that is too…
